Alex Oti Flags off Construction of 6.7Km Aba Port Harcourt
In a significant move aimed at revitalizing the economic heartbeat of Aba, His Excellency the Governor of Abia State, Alex Oti, ceremoniously inaugurated the reconstruction of the 6.7 km Port Harcourt Road on a Friday morning. The road, originally conceived by the visionary former Governor of the old Imo State, Dee Sam Mbakwe, once stood as a testament to the potential of fostering growth within the oil industry in Port Harcourt and subsequently enriching the economy of Aba. However, the passage of time saw this vital artery fall into disrepair, leading to a mass exodus of businesses and entrepreneurs, causing considerable financial losses and diminished opportunities for the region’s populace.
